Creators have been revealed 🎉

Everybody say thank you to talahu'i for hitting that button while I was experiencing public transit.

And so!!! That puts a cap on another amazing year of @theresonly1u!! It's be an incredible year watching you guys take risks with new mediums and structures, create hundreds of new works, compete with other fandoms, and generally have a great time making things with the fandoms and fans you love. I hope you all had a blast and will continuing to enjoy the works and comment as the weeks pass. I personally found several new favorite authors and read some works that haunt me and I hope you all did the same.

I will see you in March 2026 for Year Four 👀

i've seen some team-specific round-ups going around for other sports, so i thought i'd put all the f1, indycar, and nascar fills in one place! thanks as always to the mods and everyone who participates. dive in and enjoy!

There’s Only One You - Winnipeg Jets Roundup

I saw a couple of these posts for other teams’ works for @theresonly1u so I thought I would make one for the Winnipeg Jets.

There are four works featuring current jets players and all four of them are fics. Three of them are debuting new pairing tags!

Each fic is linked below in alphabetical order, along with its length, relationship tags, and prompt. In the hopes of enticing you to read them I have also provided the first sentence from each fic’s summary.

Jetsfic doesn’t really get a lot of traction so please check these out and maybe give them some love?

Adsum - 1.8k words - Vladislav Namestnikov + home

Vladdy’s moved his entire life 7,649 miles, if you count both there and back to Tampa–which he does–in ten years.

Clementine - 2k words - Cole Perfetti/Dylan Samberg - any hockey player(s) + baseball

Some nights Cole spends hours awake as the team bus trundles along, thinking about his signing bonus slowly trickling away and how he needs this to work.

Digging a pond - 1.8k words - Connor Hellebuyck/Mark Scheifele - There’s only one you

It’s 2030 and Mark is preparing for the final year of his contract.

Wind - 610 words - Eric Comrie/Nino Niederreiter - Nino Niederreiter/any + wind

This year, as he walked into the rink for the first time this year, the wind that nipped at his ears outside, and three steps in, it was the incessant chatter from the new-but-not goalie.

Team-specific round up posts

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful tapas of bespoke works. I know I personally have been going ham and a half, you are all so smart and chaotic and beautiful.

I've noticed some members of hockey and baseball fandoms doing round up posts for specific teams and that RULES and I wanna keep encouraging you all to do that!!! So I am going to start reblogging those later today in a queue set to post every couple of hours. I would love to see even more of them, so continue to tag the blog and I'll add them to queue.

edited to add - if you want to do pairing specific or player specific or trope specific or...literally anything lol, feel free to do so!! With 591 works, I know I'm overwhelmed with where to start, so these help a lot!

You guys are great 🗣️🗣️

[theresonly1u]

i got confused by prompts/fics deadline and by the time i realized fic deadline was 3/20 i had already set my mind on it being too late so. sorry? but would it be weird to credit a prompt long after the challenge is over or????

You can totally do that! You will not be able to add it to the collection, but you can absolutely credit the prompt when you post. I know people have done that before - there are a lot of great prompts that many of us just ran out of time to fill, but you're all still welcome to use the prompt list for inspiration and credit it.

[theresonly1u]

My third year participating and I’m so glad I do!!!

Oh i'm so glad!! Thank you for returning!!!!

[theresonly1u]

can i promote my fic on Tumblr and when? thank you

Yes! Any time you want.

[theresonly1u]

two years in a row now @theresonly1u

[theresonly1u]

thanks for all your hard work, dear mod! this was my first year participating and I had so much fun <3

YAY i'm so glad you joined us this year!! Thank you so much!!

[theresonly1u]

writing short fics for this fest has really helped to get me out of a long period of writers' block and general uninspiration so thank you SO much for organising & running it 🩷🩷🩷

Oh I'm so glad, that's the kind of stuff I love to hear. Thank you so much for participating!!! I'm so proud that you were able to break writer's block with us!

[theresonly1u]

Works have been revealed 🎉🎉🎉

An hour early because I woke up early and got EXCITED 🗣️🗣️

PROGRAMMING NOTES

Creators who posted on AO3 - update the date on your work if you want (<- not required but both mods think it's funny af when year-end stats tracking for fandoms gets a wild spike in March that throws off the entire year's average works posted per day)

Creators who intend to post their work on Tumblr - you can do that anytime between now and March 26 🕺 would love it if you tag @theresonly1u somewhere in the post but it's not required.

Everyone - if you like a work, slam that kudos button and LEAVE A NICE COMMENT. Reblog your favorite works posted on Tumblr with nice tags! In our first year we had people do some pretty extensive rec lists as well and I would love to see that again this year since we had 591 works in the end!!
